This small project was inspired by GSG post. If you want an answer how to easily make empty spaces in a cloner setup then watch the breakdown.

Was exploring some forms in Houdni and made a short animation.

Love the recipes functionality SideFX introduced in Houdini 20.5. It proved to be very useful. You don't need to rely on HDAs for some additional functionality anymore or legacy presets system. It's way easier now to extend existing nodes with recipes. Such a time saver!

A personal project made during some RnD and workflows explorations. Nikita Pirogov helped me out with the sound design.

Sometimes you need the very granular control in post but if you instance your geo in Houdini there is no way to pick individual pieces with cryptomatte. Unless you make a custom setup. Here is a short tip how to do it in Karma.

Trying some NPR look for fun for my recent modelling explorations.

#sidefxhoudini #houdini #sidefx

Making a "sweet" logos generator while learning some procedural modelling techniques in Houdini.

#sidefxhoudini

Learned the smart way to optimize the simulation of cloth and then cast the high res mesh to low res sim with Point Deform node. Especially useful when you want your mesh to be quads but simulated triangulated mesh.

#sidefxhoudini

Made a small HDA in Houdini to place points on a curve at precise positions. Something I needed in other projects. Only lacking some viewport functionally for now to easily manipulate points.

#sidefxhoudini

Updating my lookdev kit of tools for the upcoming projects and testing different setups to make it reliable and easy to use.

Might be useful for some. Using VEX to easily strip characters from a string from an attribute when importing geo. Helps to organize geo in Houdini when the result is stored at s@name attribute.

#sidefx #houdini #vex

Learning the ins and outs of the retiming in Houdini and all its quirks when retiming different types of simulations and animations. Which there are quite a few to be aware of for a better result. Still, it's a powerful way to control adjust sims animation after the fact.

#houdinitip Easy way to create camera switcher in Solaris. Use nested if() expressions in the Switch node. Good workflow for short sequences with different camera angles.

#houdini #sidefx

Working in some personal stuff. Exploring some bubble dynamics.

Cloth explorations in Renderman. A curious renderer that remindes me Octane in some way. It left a positive impression so far. I especially like lighting toolset and LAMA material system. The only downside so far is that it doesn't support multi-GPU setups.
